The Active Directory Connector allows you to manage users within the THRON platform, in full compliance with corporate policies.

The application enables identity management and simultaneously, the synchronisation of the entire organisation, preserving roles, belonging to specific groups and credentials of the users.

Thanks to the central registry administration, you can maintain a single point of control for all business communications systems (from intranet to extranet for suppliers), reducing management and maintenance costs.

After synchronisation in THRON, the authentication requests will always go through the Active Directory Connector to certify their identity.

A "Trust" system can also be used to allow users already authenticated within the corporate domain to access THRON through the Single Sign On.

Server instance where software must be installed: whoever installs the connector must have access to server OS with an administrator level login. If external personnel is used to install software, a VPN (or similar) access endpoint and credentials is mandatory.

Active Directory Connector internet availability:Active Directory Connector must have a public DNS entry resolving to specific public IP address used to reach Active Directory Connector from the internet.

Basic Requirements:

In order to access the Active Directory directory server, the authentication service exposed by the machine on which you installed the connector must be accessible from the outside through a combination of domain name and port to be specified in the activation panel of the connector. For maximum safety, we recommend installing the service in a machine protected by a firewall and to indicate during the activation the domain name and port that will be made accessible from outside by the firewall.

The connector is provided with a built-in SSL certificate. If there is any special requirement related to a specific domain, please contact our technical support.

Within your Active Directory you will need to set up a user with read privileges. This user will be used by the connector to synchronize data with THRON so its credentials will be requested during the configuration.

Root Suffix and Base Context of the Active Directory node to be synchronized will be asked during the configuration of the connector.

Active Directory Connector uses the universal LDAP protocol. Therefore, although it is currently certified to work with Microsoft Active Directory system, we invite you to contact our technical support if any additional configuration is needed.
